High Velocity Air Conditioning Systems — a Flexible Cooling Option for Your Washington DC Home
If you’re looking to add a new convenient cooling system or complement your existing air conditioning system, consider installing a high velocity air conditioning system in your Washington DC or Northern Virginia home. High velocity air conditioning systems are ideal for homes with limited space to run duct work or existing architectural features such as vaulted ceilings, as these systems operate via small, flexible tubes that can be installed in closets, between wall studs or ceiling joists, beneath floors, and around other building components – requiring no major remodeling for installation.
High velocity air conditioning systems use small two-inch-diameter insulated flexible tubing to transport high velocity heated or cooled air throughout a home. The tubes connect to small compressor that can be fitted in a crawl space, attic, or basement. A high velocity air conditioning system can even be integrated into your home’s existing system. Some systems offer zone controls to cool specific rooms.
High velocity air conditioning systems offer numerous benefits beside their compact size and easy installation. The systems’ flexible tubing is designed to be mold and mildew resistant. In addition, high velocity air conditioning sytsems are estimated to remove up to 30 percent more moisture from the air than conventional air conditioning systems without lowering the thermostat – leading to lower energy bills, increased comfort, and a healthier indoor environment.
For more information on high velocity air conditioning, contact Harvey W. Hottel. Based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, Harvey W. Hottel provides heating, air conditioning, plumbing, and geothermal services throughout the entire Baltimore, Northern Virginia, and Washington DC metropolitan area.
